That looks great, Aco. Is that your own custom base? I agree with Boe, it does look like he's stomping. Maybe that's intended?

I did a little mess around with the MV style; not liking it very much. The left is the first one I did - modeled after the 5th front hair from MV's generator in terms of style; the right one is a better edit to try to make it less flat while still according to the MV style. It seems to me a lot of the generated hair seems to be pillow shaded - am I wrong in my viewing of this?

Am I correct in also assuming it's 8 frames? Looks that way to me with the smoothness. I have two ideas on why it seems like he's stomping:

1. Just due to the character's looks - The outfit gives a certain knightly demeanor, which might give credence on why we're seeing stomping.

2. Not quite sure, but it feels like it's bobbing too much? When the leading foot hits the ground, the sprite might be lowered one pixel too much and causing a stomping effect. It feels bouncy, which gives it a feeling of marching.
